Hi, I’m Rachel
Rachel Weissman is a serial entrepreneur and award-winning designer turned executive coach and keynote speaker, helping ambitious leaders transform uncertainty and change into a catalyst for growth, creativity, and innovation. As a former product design leader at Google and Salesforce AI, she shaped experiences for billions of users while cultivating over 5,000 hours of meditation practice. Rachel's unique journey from Silicon Valley's highest echelons to deep spiritual exploration has positioned her as the bridge between insight and impact for today's most visionary leaders.
Born with an artist's eye and an innovator's mind, Rachel is an academically trained artist having earned her BFA before entering the tech world, where she would eventually lead design for Google Maps and Search, products used by over 2 billion people monthly. Her artistic foundation provided her with a unique perspective in Silicon Valley, where she observed a troubling pattern: the brightest minds were burning out while pursuing breakthroughs. This observation sparked a question that would shape her entire career: Why did changing the world have to come at the cost of feeling alive?
Rachel's transformative journey began when she started exploring meditation and contemplative practices while working at Salesforce. Unlike others who saw human flourishing and technology as opposing forces, Rachel recognized them as complementary powers. She began teaching meditation company-wide at Google, pioneering programs that helped engineers and innovators access deeper states of creativity and resilience. Her dedication led her to accumulate over 5,000 hours of meditation practice, mastering advanced techniques including Mahamudra, Vipassana, and Transcendental Meditation.
In 2017, Rachel brought her unique perspective to Salesforce, where she led design for the company's pioneering AI products, launching them at Dreamforce. Her work at the forefront of AI development deepened her understanding of how technology could either elevate or exhaust humanity, and she chose to be part of the solution. She completed an AI Product Management certification from Product Faculty, further solidifying her expertise in bridging complex systems with human needs.
In addition to her corporate journey, Rachel's entrepreneurial spirit led her to found multiple ventures. She created an ed-tech marketplace, built an emotional intelligence community and training program, and founded a B2B AI startup focused on helping leaders enhance their communication impact. Each venture reflected her core belief: that our innate human skills are not luxuries for after success—they are the source of it.
Rachel's commitment to personal transformation extended beyond her meditation practice. She became a certified Yoga Teacher, Meditation Teacher, and Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) facilitator, enabling clients to expand beyond purely cognitive frameworks and tap into deeper creative insights. As a competitive athlete who has explored 55 countries, she brings a global perspective and understanding of peak performance under pressure to her work.
Recognizing the need for a new model of leadership in an increasingly fast-paced world, Rachel pursued extensive coaching training. She earned certifications from the Center for Executive Coaching, Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (Google's mindfulness program), Genos International, and Noble Story Group. Her approach draws upon the wisdom of legendary coaches including Matt Mochary (Sam Altman's coach), John Mattone (Steve Jobs' coach), Bill Campbell (the "Trillion Dollar Coach"), Tony Robbins (Marc Benioff's coach), and Martha Beck (Oprah's coach).
Rachel's impact has been recognized across the industry. She was selected as a member of Forbes Coaches Council, an invitation-only community for top coaches. Her articles on leadership and transformation have appeared in Forbes, Fast Company, and The Information. She has delivered transformational keynotes for Fortune 500 companies, and her workshops have helped teams at organizations worldwide transform pressure into presence and uncertainty into breakthrough innovation.
Beyond her corporate and coaching work, Rachel expresses her vision through her artistic practice, where she creates installations that serve as technologies for consciousness expansion. This work represents the full integration of her journey, where art, technology, and consciousness merge to create experiences that awaken rather than exhaust.
Today, Rachel partners with leaders ready to access new dimensions of impact and aliveness. Through her speaking, coaching, and workshops, she helps visionary leaders discover that in a world of infinite complexity and AI acceleration, the competitive advantage isn't working harder, it's seeing clearer. Her clients consistently report breakthrough results: accessing their genius without burning out, leading from a place of presence rather than pressure, and creating cultures where innovation flows naturally.
Rachel's work is guided by a simple but profound truth she discovered through her journey: Your next breakthrough isn't only a strategy, it's a state of being. When leaders operate from their essence rather than their ego, they access an inexhaustible creative vitality that transforms everything they touch.
Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rachel continues to explore the edges of human flourishing, helping leaders worldwide bridge the gap between insight and impact.
